SAFETY! Do not use kerb jump while moving between jobs. Disengage drive
to the mower decks and raise them into the transport position if moving more
than a few metres (yards).
15e. Cutting Height.
1. General:
a. The cutting height of the blades is set by adjusting the
position of the rollers.
b. The end of each roller is mounted to a sliding plate
known as a “side channel” (a).
c. The sliding plates are raised or lowered by turning screw
adjusters (b).
d. Clamp bolts secure each sliding plate to the mower body
(c)
e. Cutting height indicators show the cut height in
centimetres or inches depending upon the market.
f. There are four adjusters on each mower deck.
2. Tools for height adjustment:
a. Clamp bolt nuts - 1/2” drive power bar and 24mm (or 15/16”) socket.
b. Adjuster screws - the same tools with a long extension fitted between the power bar and socket.
3. Preparation:
a. Park the tractor in a clear level area.
b. Lower the mower decks.
c. Apply the parking brake. Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop before
dismounting.

4. Count the number of turns:
a. The cutting height moves 4mm for each full turn of the adjuster screws.
b. It is much quicker and more accurate to work out the number of turns required to achieve the
desired cutting height from the table below.
c. Turn all the adjusters by the same number of turns in the same direction. Use the height
adjustment indicators as a check only.
5. To lower the cutting height:
a. Do not loosen the clamp bolts (a).
b. Turn each adjuster screw anti-clockwise the same number of turns in the same direction.
c. Don’t use ratchets! It’s difficult to count turns if the ratchet clicks over during the operation.
d. Only after all the height adjuster screws have been adjusted, loosen the clamp bolts (a). The
mower bodies should drop suddenly to the new level.
e. Check that all the side channels are hard up under the heads of the height adjuster screws
and the flat washers cannot be turned (c).
f. Check the height indicators to confirm the cutting height is correct.
